## Background
This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/257,924, filed Nov. 4, 2009, entitled “CERTAIN CRYSTALLINE HEMI-HYDRATES, PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS THEREOF AND METHODS FOR PREPARATION AND USE THEREOF.”


Provided are certain crystalline hydrates of [N-3-(3′-fluoro-4′-(4′′-phenyl piperazinyl))phenyl-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl acetamide, and particularly certain crystalline hydrates of (S)—[N-3-(3′-fluoro-4′-(4′′-phenyl piperazinyl))phenyl-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl acetamide, pharmaceutical compositions thereof, and methods for the preparation and use thereof.
Currently, because of the limited number of effective antimicrobial agents, finding an effective treatment for infections caused by multiple-drug resistant gram positive bacterium is challenging. In addition, the drug resistant mechanisms of pathogenic bacterium are constantly evolving, increasing the difficulty of clinical treatment. Thus, there is a demand for effective antimicrobial agents.
Oxazolidinone antibiotics can exhibit a broad antibacterial spectrum against gram positive bacterium. For instance, some of the oxazolidinone antibiotics are known to have antibacterial activities against methicillin-resistant Staphylococci, vancomycin-resistant Staphylococci, vancomycin-resistant enterococci, penicillin-resistant pneumococci, and anaerobes.
Although certain oxazolidinone antibiotics may exhibit a high level of biological activity, their physicochemical properties may be less than ideal and their bioavailability may also be less than ideal. It may be possible to improve the physicochemical properties of oxazolidinone antibiotics by forming those compounds into salts. However, it can be rather challenging to develop a reliable process of forming, selecting, and characterizing a suitable salt for clinical application. For example, the conditions for forming the salt form of (S)—N-3-(3′-fluoro-4′-(4′′-phenyl piperazinyl))phenyl-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl acetamide or crystalline hydrates thereof have yet to be found. And the overall properties of the salt form may be unpredictable.
The inventors have developed at least one new crystalline hydrate of (S)—N-3-(3′-fluoro-4′-(4′′-phenyl piperazinyl))phenyl-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl acetamide. Those new hydrates can possess improved thermal stability and higher solubility compared to the anhydrous form of (S)—N-3-(3′-fluoro-4′-(4′′-phenyl piperazinyl))phenyl-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl acetamide. Moreover, the disclosed crystalline hydrates can also have good bioavailability and drug efficacy, and can even be manufactured at a relatively low cost.
Thus, provided is at least one crystalline hydrate of (S)—[N-3-(3′-fluoro-4′-(4′′-phenyl piperazinyl))phenyl-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl acetamide. Desirably, the at least one crystalline hydrate is at least 99% free of crystalline hydrates of (R)—[N-3-(3′-fluoro-4′-(4′′-phenyl piperazinyl))phenyl-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl acetamide, the at least one crystalline hydrate can also be at least 95% free of crystalline hydrates of (R)—[N-3-(3′-fluoro-4′-(4′′-phenyl piperazinyl))phenyl-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl acetamide, further the at least one crystalline hydrate can also be at least 90% free of crystalline hydrates of (R)—[N-3-(3′-fluoro-4′-(4′′-phenyl piperazinyl))phenyl-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl acetamide, still further the at least one crystalline hydrate can be at least 80% free of crystalline hydrates of (R)—[N-3-(3′-fluoro-4′-(4′′-phenyl piperazinyl))phenyl-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl acetamide, even further still the at least one crystalline hydrate can be at least 70% free of crystalline hydrates of (R)—[N-3-(3′-fluoro-4′-(4′′-phenyl piperazinyl))phenyl-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl acetamide, and yet further still the at least one crystalline hydrate can be at least 60% free of crystalline hydrates of (R)—[N-3-(3′-fluoro-4′-(4′′-phenyl piperazinyl))phenyl-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl acetamide, and even yet further still the at least one crystalline hydrate can be at least more than 50% free of crystalline hydrates of (R)—[N-3-(3′-fluoro-4′-(4′′-phenyl piperazinyl))phenyl-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl acetamide.
Also provided are methods for the preparation of at least one crystalline (S)—[N-3-(3′-fluoro-4′-(4′′-phenyl piperazinyl))phenyl-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl acetamide hydrate.
Also provided is a product of any of the methods described herein.
Also provided is a mixture comprising (S)—[N-3-(3′-fluoro-4′-(4′′-phenyl piperazinyl))phenyl-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl acetamide and at least one crystalline hydrate of (S)—[N-3-(3′-fluoro-4′-(4′′-phenyl piperazinyl))phenyl-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl acetamide, wherein the at least one crystalline hydrate is at least 90% free of crystalline hydrates of (R)—[N-3-(3′-fluoro-4′-(4′′-phenyl piperazinyl))phenyl-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl acetamide.

The following abbreviations and terms have the indicated meanings throughout:
“Polymorphism” is defined as in the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Guideline Q6A Guideline: Specifications for New Drug Substances and Products: Chemical Substances, October 1999 and refers to the occurrence of different solid forms of the same drug substance. Polymorphs can be unsolvated or solvated, such as hydrated, crystal forms. Unsolvated crystal forms are crystals that do not have solvent incorporated within the crystal structure and include anhydrous crystal forms or anhydrates. Solvated crystal forms, or solvates, are crystalline solid adducts containing either stoichiometric or nonstoichiometric amounts of solvent molecules incorporated within the crystal structure. If the incorporated solvent is water, the solvates are also commonly known as hydrates. Amorphous solids possess disordered arrangements of molecules and do not possess a distinguishable crystal lattice.
The term “solution” means a mixture of one or more solutes in one or more solvents. Solution is intended to encompass homogeneous mixtures as well as heterogeneous mixtures, such as slurries or other mixtures having a suspension of insoluble (not dissolved) material.
By a “detectable amount” is meant a sufficient amount to give positive identification but not necessarily quantitation of the compound by any at least one suitable analytical technique, for example HPLC, XRPD, or other means.
The term “organic solvent” is broadly intended to mean any organic solvent.
The at least one crystalline hydrate disclosed herein can be used in different enriched isotopic forms, e.g., enriched in the content of 2H, 3H, 11C, 13C and/or 14C. In one embodiment, the compounds are deuterated. Such deuterated forms can be made by the procedure described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,846,514 and 6,334,997. As described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,846,514 and 6,334,997, deuteration can improve the efficacy and increase the duration of action of drugs. Deuterium substituted compounds can be synthesized using various methods such as described in: Dean, Dennis C., Editor: Recent Advances in the Synthesis and Applications of Radiolabeled Compounds for Drug Discovery and Development. [In Curr., Pharm. Des., 2000; 6(10), 110 pp.]; Kabalka, George W.; Varma, Rajender S: The Synthesis of Radiolabeled Compounds via Organometallic Intermediates, Tetrahedron, 1989, 45(21), pp. 6601-21; and Evans, E. Anthony: Synthesis of radiolabeled compounds, J. Radioanal. Chem., 1981, 64(1-2), pp. 9-32.
The term “therapeutically effective amount” of at least one crystalline hydrate described herein means an amount effective, when administered to a subject in recognized need, such as a human or non-human patient, to alleviate the symptoms or stop the progression of a bacterial infection.
The term “(S)—N-3-(3′-fluoro-4′-(4′′-phenyl piperazinyl))phenyl-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl acetamide” or “(S)—N-[3-(3′-fluoro-4′-(4′′-(phenyl)-piperazinyl)-phenyl)-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]-methyl]acetamide” or “(S)—N-((3-(3-fluoro-4-(4-phenylpiperazin-1-yl)phenyl)-2-oxooxazolidin-5-yl)methyl)acetamide” refers to a chemical entity with the following structure:

wherein y is a number ranging from 1/12 to 1, for example, y is chosen from 1/12, 2/7, 2/5, 1/2, and 3/4.

In some embodiments, the water content of the at least one crystalline hydrate described herein remains substantially unchanged when the at least one crystalline hydrate described herein is exposed to normal temperature. For example, in some embodiments, the water content of the at least one crystalline hydrate described herein, when exposed to normal temperatures, changes, by less than about 10%, further for example, by less than about 5%, such as less than about 2% in some embodiments, and in some embodiments, even by less than about 1%.
In some embodiments, the at least one crystalline hydrate is at least 99%, at least 95%, at least 90%, or at least 80% free of crystalline hydrates of (R)—[N-3-(3′-fluoro-4′-(4′′-phenyl piperazinyl))phenyl-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl acetamide. In some other embodiments, the at least one crystalline hydrate is at least 70%, or at least 60% free of crystalline hydrates of (R)—[N-3-(3′-fluoro-4′-(4′′-phenyl piperazinyl))phenyl-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl acetamide. In further other embodiments, the at least one crystalline hydrate is at least more than 50% free of crystalline hydrates of (R)—[N-3-(3′-fluoro-4′-(4′′-phenyl piperazinyl))phenyl-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl acetamide.
In some embodiments, the at least one crystalline hydrate described herein of the formula above contains no more than about 50% by weight of any other polymorphic form(s), such as where y is greater than 1 or less than 1/12. In some embodiments, the at least one crystalline hydrate described herein contains no more than about 10% by weight of any other polymorphic form(s). In some embodiments, the at least one crystalline hydrate described herein contains no more than about 5% by weight of any other polymorphic form(s). In some embodiments, the at least one crystalline hydrate described herein contains even no more than about 1% by weight of any other polymorphic form(s).
In some embodiments, the at least one crystalline hydrate described herein has a chemical purity of greater than about 95%. In other embodiments, the at least one crystalline hydrate described herein has a chemical purity of greater than about 98%. In yet other embodiments, the at least one crystalline hydrate described herein has a chemical purity of greater than about 99%. Chemical purity can be ascertained by any at least one suitable analytical technique, for example, by high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC).
In some embodiments, the at least one crystalline hydrate described herein may be identified by any one or more solid state analytical methods. For example, the at least one crystalline hydrate may be characterized according to any one or more of, e.g., X-ray diffraction, unit cell constants obtained from a single crystal of the hydrate, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry curve data, solid state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy.
A sample is considered to be a crystalline hydrate if it is characterized as such by any at least one of the methods described herein, regardless of any inconsistent or contradictory results obtained by any of the other methods described above. In addition, a sample is considered to be a crystalline hydrate if it is characterized as such by any at least one of the above methods under a particular set of experimental conditions, regardless of any inconsistent or contradictory results obtained by the same method under a different set of experimental conditions.
In some embodiments, the at least one crystalline hydrate may be characterized according to melting point. For example, also provided is an embodiment of at least one crystalline (S)—[N-3-(3′-fluoro-4′-(4′′-phenyl piperazinyl))phenyl-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl acetamide hydrate having a melting point ranging from 210° C. to 215° C., as measured by a capillary tube (i.e., a melting point apparatus).
In some embodiments, the at least one crystalline hydrate may be characterized according to X-ray powder diffraction. For example, the X-ray powder diffractogram of anhydrate (S)—[N-3-(3′-fluoro-4′-(4′′-phenyl piperazinyl))phenyl-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl acetamide is distinguishable from those of crystalline (S)—[N-3-(3′-fluoro-4′-(4′′-phenyl piperazinyl))phenyl-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl acetamide hydrates. For instance, the X-ray powder diffractogram of anhydrate (S)—[N-3-(3′-fluoro-4′-(4′′-phenyl piperazinyl))phenyl-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl acetamide, measured with CuKα radiation, may have peaks (2θ) chosen from those having about the following values: 4.37, 10.50, 15.92, 17.12, 22.40, and 26.11, each of the diffraction angles being ±0.02 degrees (2θ). The X-ray powder diffractogram of the at least one crystalline (S)—[N-3-(3′-fluoro-4′-(4′′-phenyl piperazinyl))phenyl-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl acetamide hydrate, in contrast, may not have those peaks. The intensity in the X-ray powder diffractogram of different batches of the hydrates described herein may vary, because of, for example, preferred orientation or even variable hydration. Furthermore, in the X-ray powder diffractograms of the hydrates described herein, there can be differences in the measured peaks, due to the difference of the measuring instruments and testing conditions during the X-ray diffraction measurement. For instance, the experiments described herein used the X-ray diffraction DX-1000 machine made by Chengdu Center for Analysis and Testing, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and according to the instrument precision, the measurement error of 2θ value is at ±0.02 2θ. In addition, in the Examples described below, the conditions chosen for measuring the X-ray powder diffraction of the hydrates included: CuKa radiation, 1.54 monochromator, tube voltage 40 kV, and tube current 25 mA. But notwithstanding experimental and machine errrors, and principles such as preferred orientation, one skilled in the an can find sufficient information in the XRPD data provided herein to identify a specific crystalline hydrate. In other words, not all of the data from the diffractogram are necessary to identify the hydrate.
Also provided is an embodiment of at least one crystalline (S)—[N-3-(3′-fluoro-4′-(4′′-phenyl piperazinyl))phenyl-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl acetamide hydrate with an XRPD, measured with CuKα radiation, having at least the peaks (2θ) chosen from those having about the following values: 4.04, 16.09, 18.66, and 20.16, each of the diffraction angles being ±0.02 degrees (2θ).

    at least one pharmaceutically acceptable diluents and/or carrier
    to provide said treatment.


The amount of the at least one crystalline hydrate described herein effective for achieving the desired biological effect may depend on a number of factors, for example, the intended use, the mode of administration, and the clinical condition of the patient. The daily dose may, for example, range from 0.01 mg to 200 mg (such as from 0.05 mg to 100 mg) per day. Single-dose formulations which can be administered orally include, for example, tablets or capsules.
For the therapy of the above-mentioned conditions, at least one crystalline hydrate may be used as the compound itself, but typically the at least one crystalline hydrate would be in the form of a pharmaceutical composition with an acceptable carrier. Representative carriers should be compatible with the other ingredients of the composition and not harmful for the patient's health. The carrier may be a solid or a liquid or both and may be formulated with a crystalline hydrate described herein as a single dose, for example as a tablet, which may be prepared from 0.05% to 95% by weight of the crystalline hydrate described herein. At least one active ingredient may likewise be present, including those chosen from other crystalline hydrates described herein. The pharmaceutical compositions described herein can be produced by known pharmaceutical methods, such as those involving mixing the ingredients with pharmacologically acceptable carriers and/or excipients.
In some embodiments, representative excipients would include but are not limited to: microcrystalline cellulose, lactose, sodium citrate, calcium carbonate, dicalcium phosphate, glycine, disintegrants such as starch, sodium cross-linked carboxymethyl cellulose, composite silicates, and polyethylene glycol with hight moleculr weight, granulation binders (such as polyvinylpyrrolidone, sucrose, gelatin, and Gum Arabic), and lubricants (such as magnesium stearate, glycerin, and talc).
In some embodiments, the at least one crystalline hydrate described herein may be combined with sweetners, delicate flavor agents, coloring matters, dyes, or emulsifiers, and mixtures thereof.
In some embodiments, the at least one crystalline hydrate described herein may not be converted upon formulation with the one or more pharmaceutically acceptable diluents.

The at least one crystalline hydrate described herein can also be administered in combination with one or more other active ingredients. When administered as a combination, the active ingredients can be formulated as separate compositions that are administered at the same time or sequentially at different times, or the active ingredients can be administered in a single dosage form, i.e., single composition, provided that the active ingredients are not incompatible with other active ingredients or the formulation, or otherwise undesirably combined in a single composition.
In some embodiments, the at least one crystalline hydrate described herein can be administered with one or more other antimicrobial agents, such as antibacterial agents (antibiotics) and antifungal agents.
The phrase “co-therapy” (or “combination-therapy”) or “in combination with”, as used herein, defines the use of the at least one crystalline hydrate described herein as described herein and one or more other active ingredients, such as, for example:
administration of each active ingredient in a sequential manner in a regimen to provide beneficial effects of the drug combination; and/or
co-administration of the aforementioned components in a substantially simultaneous manner (e.g., as in a single dosage form, such as a capsule, having a fixed ratio of the active ingredients or in multiple, separate capsules for each active ingredient, etc.).
Thus, methods described herein are not limited in the sequence of administration; the at least one crystalline hydrate described herein may be administered either prior to, at the same time with or after administration of the one or more other active ingredients.
The invention is further illustrated by the following non-limiting examples.
Experiments

1 g of (S)—[N-3-(3′-fluoro-4′-(4′′-phenyl piperazinyl))phenyl-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl acetamide crude prepared according to Example 1 was dissolved in 2 ml of a mixed solvent (6 wt % hydrochloric acid:ethanol=3:2 (volumetric ratio)). A small amount of activated carbon was added, and the reaction mixture was stirred for 2 hours, filtered. After the filtration, the liquid was left standing at room temperature and crystals formed. The crystals obtained were vacuum dried at 40° C. for 5 hours. The content measured by HPLC: 99.1%.
The conditions for X-ray powder diffraction: CuKa radiation, 1.54 monochromator, tube voltage 40 KV, tube current 25 mA. The X-ray powder diffractogram of the resulting crystal is shown in FIG. 14.

By comparing the X-ray powder (“XRPD”) diffractograms from Examples 1-3, one skilled in the analysis of XRPD would find that significant differences exist between the XRPD diagram of Example 1 (anhydrous, FIG. 1) and those of Examples 2 and 3 (1/2 hydrate, FIGS. 7 and 14). Also, the XRPD diagrams show that the hydrates produced in Examples 2 and 3 are the same, indicating that either acidic solvent alone or a mixed solvent comprising an acidic solvent and an organic solvent can be used to prepare the 1/2 hydrate.
The following examples show different processes for the preparation of the 1/2 hydrate of (S)—[N-3-(3′-fluoro-4′-(4′′-phenyl piperazinyl))phenyl-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl acetamide.
EXAMPLES 4-105
Preparation of (S)—[N-3-(3′-fluoro-4′-(4′′-phenyl piperazinyl))phenyl-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl acetamide 1/2 hydrate (C22H25N4O3.1/2H2O)
(S)—[N-3-(3′-fluoro-4′-(4′′-phenyl piperazinyl))phenyl-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl acetamide 1/2 hydrates were prepared according to the conditions listed in Table 1. The TGA and the melting temperature of the compounds prepared in Examples 4-105 were sufficiently similar to the TGA and the melting point of the 1/2 hydrates prepared in Examples 2 and 3 to be consistent with the conclusion that all were the 1/2 hydrate.

EXAMPLES 106-161
Preparation of (S)—[N-3-(3′-fluoro-4′-(4′′-phenyl piperazinyl))phenyl-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl acetamide 2/7 hydrate (C22H25N4O3.217H2O)
As shown in Table 2, a solution of (S)—[N-3-(3′-fluoro-4′-(4′′-phenyl piperazinyl))phenyl-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl acetamide was prepared by mixing 10 g of (S)—[N-3-(3′-fluoro-4′-(4′′-phenyl piperazinyl))phenyl-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl acetamide prepared according to Example 1 with 200 ml of a mixed solvent containing water and an organic solvent. The solution was then stirred, filtered, and crystallized according to the conditions listed in Table 2. The crystalline compound obtained in Example 106 had a melting temperature of 210-215° C. measured by a capillary tube, and its XRPD and TGA analysis are shown in FIGS. 15 and 16. TGA data shows that the water content of crystalline compound in Example 106 was 1.20±0.15%, indicating that the crystalline compound was a 2/7 hydrate of (S)—[N-3-(3′-fluoro-4′-(4′′-phenyl piperazinyl))phenyl-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl acetamide. The TGA and the melting temperature of the crystalline compounds prepared in Examples 107-161 were sufficiently similar to the TGA and the melting point of the 2/7 hydrate prepared in Example 106 to be consistent with the conclusion that all were the 2/7 hydrate prepared in Example 106.

EXAMPLES 162-252
Preparation of (S)—[N-3-(3′-fluoro-4′-(4′′-phenyl piperazinyl))phenyl-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl acetamide 2/5 hydrate (C22H25N4O3.2/5H2O)
As shown in Table 3, a solultion of (S)—[N-3-(3′-fluoro-4′-(4′′-phenyl piperazinyl))phenyl-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl acetamide was prepared by mixing 10 g of (S)—[N-3-(3′-fluoro-4′-(4′′-phenyl piperazinyl))phenyl-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl acetamide crude prepared according to Example 1 with 200 ml of a mixed solvent containing an acidic solvent and an organic solvent. The solution was then stirred, filtered, and crystallized according to the conditions listed in Table 3. The crystalline compound obtained in Example 162 had a melting temperature of 210-215° C. measured by a capillary tube, and its XRPD and TGA analysis are shown in FIGS. 17 and 18. TGA data shows that the water content of the crystalline compound in Example 162 was 1.70±0.15%, indicating that the crystalline compound was a 2/5 hydrate of (S)—[N-3-(3′-fluoro-4′-(4′′-phenyl piperazinyl))phenyl-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl acetamide. The TGA and the melting temperature of the crystalline compounds prepared in Examples 163-252 were sufficiently similar to the TGA and the melting point of the 2/5 hydrate prepared in Example 162 to be consistent with the conclusion that all were the 2/5 hydrate prepared in Example 162.

The solution was then stirred, filtered, and crystallized according to the conditions listed in Table 4. The crystalline compound obtained in Example 253 had a melting temperature of 210-214° C. measured by a capillary tube, and its XRPD and TGA analysis are shown in FIGS. 19 and 20. TGA data show that the water content of the crystalline compound in Example 253 was 0.40±0.15%, indicating that the crystalline compound was a 1/12 hydrate of (S)—[N-3-(3′-fluoro-4′-(4′′-phenyl piperazinyl))phenyl-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl acetamide. The TGA and the melting temperature of the crystalline compounds prepared in Examples 254-336 were sufficiently similar to the TGA and the melting point of the 1/12 hydrate prepared in Example 253 to be consistent with the conclusion that all were the 1/12 hydrate prepared in Example 253.

EXAMPLES 337-358
Preparation of (S)—[N-3-(3′-fluoro-4′-(4′′-phenyl piperazinyl))phenyl-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl acetamide 3/4 hydrate (C22H25N4O3.3/4H2O)
As shown in Table 5, a solultion of (S)—[N-3-(3′-fluoro-4′-(4′′-phenyl piperazinyl))phenyl-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl acetamide was prepared by mixing 10 g of (S)—[N-3-(3′-fluoro-4′-(4′′-phenyl piperazinyl))phenyl-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl acetamide crude prepared according to Example 1 with 200 ml of water or 200 ml of a mixed solvent containing water and dimethyl sulfoxide or Tween 80. The solution was then stirred, filtered, and crystallized according to the conditions listed in Table 5. The crystalline compound obtained in Example 337 had a melting temperature of 210-215° C. as measured by a capillary tube, and its XRPD and TGA analysis are shown in FIGS. 21 and 22. TGA data shows that the water content of the crystalline compound in Example 337 was 3.30±0.15%, indicating that the crystalline compound was a 3/4 hydrate of (S)—[N-3-(3′-fluoro-4′-(4′′-phenyl piperazinyl))phenyl-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl acetamide. The TGA and the melting temperature of the crystalline compounds prepared in Examples 338-358 were sufficiently similar to the TGA and the melting point of the 3/4 hydrate prepared in Example 337 to be consistent with the conclusion that all were the 3/4 hydrate prepared in Example 337.

Bacteria Strains

    Clinically isolated strains: clinically isolated bacterial pathogens collected in Sichuan and Beijing areas from March 2007 to May 2008.
    Species include: Staphylococcus aureus MRSA, Staphylococcus aureus MSSA, S. epidermidis MRSE, S. epidermidis MSSE, E. feacalis, and E. feacium, a total of 51 strains.
    Quality control strains: Staphylococcus aureus ATCC27853 strain kept in Sichuan Industrial Institute of Antibiotics, purchased from the medical testing center of the Ministry of Health, China.


Experimental Method:

    Measurement of the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) in vitro:
    The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of each test sample against test strains was measured by using the agar dilution method recommended by the U.S. National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (CLSI/NCCIs).


Results and Analysis
Based on the CLSI/NCCL's testing standard with respect to vancomycin and linezolid (see Table 6), the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of every strain were reported, and the MIC50 (the concentration that inhibits 50% of the different strains of bacteria), MIC90 (the concentration that inhibits 90% of the different strains of bacteria), and MICrange (the range of the MIC value of the tested strains) were observed.
The MIC values of the anhydrous compounds and the hydrates of the present disclosure are shown in Tables 7, 8, and 9.
The MIC50, MIC90, MICrange of the hydrates of the present disclosure against 51 strains of clincally isolated pathogens are shown in Table 9. The range of the MIC value of the above-mentioned sample against Staphylococcus aureus MRSA, MSSA; S. epidermidis MRSE, MSSE; and E. feacalis, E. feacium was within 0.06-4 ug/ml. See Table 9.
